Here’s your first look at the brand new trailer for Chips. Warner Bros. Pictures will release the movie on March 24, 2017.
Dax Shepard (“Hit and Run,” TV’s “Parenthood”) and Michael Peña (“The Martian”) star in Warner Bros. Pictures’ action comedy CHiPs. Shepard also directs from a script he penned based on the characters from the popular ‘70s television series created by Rick Rosner.
Jon Baker (Shepard) and Frank “Ponch” Poncherello (Peña) have just joined the California Highway Patrol (Chp) in Los Angeles but for very different reasons. Baker is a beaten up pro motorbiker trying to put his life and marriage back together. Poncherello is a cocky undercover Federal agent investigating a multi-million dollar heist that may be an inside job—inside the Chp.
The inexperienced rookie and hardened pro are teamed together, but clash more than click, so kickstarting a partnership is easier said than done. But with...

If you aren’t familiar with Dax Shepard beyond Parenthood, and especially if you haven’t caught some of his more recent indie work, like The Freebie, you may be surprised by just how talented he is. Now, I don’t know if Hit and Run, the upcoming title that he wrote, co-directed, and stars in, is a surefire winner, but it looks like a lot of fun.
Coming to a theater near you on August 24th, Hit and Run is an action-comedy starring Shepard as a man whose past catches up to him when he least expects it… sort of. Unbeknownst to his fiancé (Kristen Bell), Charlie (Shepard) is in the witness protection program, and everything is about the life she thinks she’s in is about to start falling apart.

Having seen Win Win the other day, I really hope that Tom McCarthy wins the award for Best Screenplay, but it will be hard to take the win, especially with the momentum that The Descendants and The Artist are having.

It's an award-based morning as not only were the Gotham Awards handed out last night, the New York Film Critics are in the middle of handing out their awards right now (that list is coming shortly) and now the nominations for Film Independent's 2012 Independent Spirit Awards were announced as Michael Hazanavicius' The Artist and Jeff Nichols' Take Shelter led the pack with five nominations each. The two leaders, however, were followed closely by Beginners, The Descendants, Martha Marcy May Marlene and Drive with four. Of those six, only Martha Marcy May Marlene wasn't nominated for Best Feature as it was replaced by 50/50, which ended up with three nominations. Of the films nominated for Best Feature, my gut tells me it's a battle between The Artist and The Descendants and this just may end up being the first sign as to which of those two may end up being the Oscar favorite.

Title: Brother’s Justice Directors: Dax Shepard, David Palmer Starring: Dax Shepard and Nate Tuck, with Tom Arnold, Bradley Cooper, David Koechner, Ashton Kutcher, Jon Favreau Those who’ve ever seen “Punk’d” can attest to the improvisational comedy skills of Dax Shepard, who put both himbo bewilderment and mock outrage to good use for Ashton Kutcher’s hidden-camera show, which eventually launched him into costarring roles in proper big screen entertainment like “Without a Paddle”, “Employee of the Month” and “Idiocracy”. His latest film finds Shepard chafed by the constraints of comedy, however, and working to try to break out of the box into which he feels he’s been put by Hollywood. A...

Though he doesn't appear in Dax Shepard's filmmaking mockumentary Brother's Justice -- which follows Shepard (as himself) and producing partner Nate Tuck on a years-long quest to make a martial arts action movie entitled, yes, Brother's Justice -- Chuck Norris figured prominently in the genesis of the project.

In Brother’s Justice, writer, co-director and star Dax Shepard (NBC’s Parenthood) announces his desire to launch a new creative path as an action flick-headlining, karate-chopping hero. Sadly delusional, he kicks off a seemingly ill-fated campaign to make a film that will be the glorious turning point in his career. Despite zero martial arts training and severe lack of funds, Shepard, along with co-star Tom Arnold and producer Nate Tuck, implore their industry contacts to get the half-baked project off the ground. Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher, David Koechner, Jon Favreau and Michael Rosenbaum also appear. David Palmer co-directs. Check...

In preparation for the launch of the mockumentary Brother's Justice on video on demand (VOD) this week via Tribeca Film (in partnership with American Express®), we sat down with a raucous foursome in La last month: stars Dax Shepard (also a co-director) and Tom Arnold, co-director David Palmer, and producer Nate Tuck. In case it's not totally clear in the emoticon-free exchange below, these guys really get a kick out of each other. They riffed off one another as only good friends can, and the fast and funny (it only took five minutes!) back-and-forth should be incentive enough to to check out their hilariously satirical send-up of La and the movie biz.

In addition to appearing for the red carpet premiere of Brother's Justice at this year's Austin Film Festival, the lead stars and filmmakers sat down with media while they were in town. I enjoyed a pleasant and humorous conversation with lead actor and director Dax Shepard, as well as cinematographer/director David Palmer and producer/actor Nate Tuck, pictured above.
Brother's Justice (Jette's review) is best described as a mockumentary with Shepard aspiring to become an international martial-arts star. Check out what the filmmaking trio had to say about Brother's Justice as well as their thoughts on Austin actors and filmmakers, including the Wilson and Duplass brothers.
Dax, this isn't your first time in Austin. Can you talk about some of your prior experiences here?
Dax Shepard: In 2004, I shot Idiocracy here so I lived in Austin for three months. It is to date my favorite location, including New Zealand,...

On Saturday October 23rd, Dax Shepard came to Austin, TX, with his latest film Brother's Justice for the Austin Film Festival 2010. Dax not only stars in the film but he also makes his directorial debut, splitting the duty with co-director David Palmer. With the help of his buddy, producer Nate Tuck, and motivated by Box Office statistics, actor Dax Shepard has made a decision to leave comedy to pursue his dream of becoming an international Martial Arts action star. Lacking any formal training, with no funding for his blockbuster script and facing rejection at every turn, Shepard shows that there is no obstacle too great for an iron will. Pulling Hollywood buddies into the mix, Shepard does not take ‘no’ for an answer, and gets banned from televised awards shows in the process. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dax Shepard the next morning to talk about Brother's Justice,...

Writer/director Dax Shepard, cinematographer/director David Palmer and producer Nate Tuck were on the red carpet for the premiere of Brother's Justice at Aff 2010. The trio were also the stars of this mockumentary about Shepard's efforts to delve into the martial arts genre, although Palmer is most often behind the camera as "the camera guy." It's the natural relationship between Shepard and Tuck as they try to enlist more people in their project that I enjoyed the most. Check back soon for my interview with Shepard, Palmer and Tuck.
Here are more photos from the event, including the cast and crew of the short film The Legend of El Limbo, which preceded Brother's Justice. First up is star Dax Shepard.

When you think of actor Dax Shepard, you might remember him in 'Idiocracy,' 'When in Rome,' 'Baby Mama' or more recently, the TV show 'Parenthood.' He plays comic roles, sometimes as a humorously not-so-bright guy. You don't think "action hero" or "martial-arts star." But in the movie 'Brother's Justice,' co-directed by Shepard and David Palmer, Shepard wants to change that perception. He's ready to be the next Bruce Willis or Jet Li, if only someone will give him the chance.
The movie is shot documentary style, with the cast all playing themselves. Shepard and his old friend, producer Nate Tuck, decide they want to make a movie Dax has thought up called 'Brother's Justice,' an action film in which Dax plays the hero. They approach a number of people to enlist in their project: Dax's agent,...

If the above image looks like it would be from the spoof poster for a bad action movie - a la 'Who Dat Ninja?' and the other fake posters hanging on the walls of Tracy Jordan's dressing room in '30 Rock' - there's a reason for that, and it's pretty simple: that's pretty much what it is. 'Brother's Justice' is the first film from Dax Shepard's newly-formed production company Primate Pictures and, surprise surprise, it's about an actor's misguided attempts to become an action star. Check out the official plot synopsis:
"In 'Brother's Justice,' Dax makes the rash decision to reinvent his career and abandon comedy in pursuit of his true dream: to become an internationally-renown martial arts star. Without any formal martial arts training, nor adequate funding for his 'blockbuster' action movie script, Dax enlists the help...
